Quietly sighs the dawn long and languid through the hours All to come about lies in wait Per chance, to say Something sagacious, Something great. Dreamers wide awake; So erudite and perspicuous. As if their dreaming were to dream Away the … Continue reading →

The Sentinel

Posted on March 1, 2012 by skipavm@gmail.com
